Overview

• Stefanski refused multiple times to commit to Flacco after a 34-10 loss in Detroit, keeping open a quarterback change for the Vikings game in London.
• Flacco ranks last in passer rating at 60.3 with eight turnovers in four games as Cleveland averages roughly 14 points per outing.
• Flacco was benched late in Week 4 and rookie Dillon Gabriel, the No. 2 on the depth chart, took mop-up snaps and is widely expected to get the first look if a switch is made.
• Stefanski would not say whether Shedeur Sanders would be QB2 if Gabriel starts; Sanders remains the emergency quarterback and drew criticism from Rex Ryan after recent comments and televised sideline shots.
• Injury setbacks compound the decision as wide receivers Cedric Tillman (hamstring) and DeAndre Carter (knee) will miss multiple weeks ahead of the London trip against Minnesota.
